<b>What Is Space Elevator</b><br />One concept for a transportation system that would link planets to space is called a space elevator. A cable that is attached to the surface and extends into space would be the primary component of this system. Without the need for huge rockets, the architecture of the system would enable vehicles to ascend the cable from the surface of a planetary body, such as the surface of the Earth, and enter orbit directly. Because of the enormous weight, a space elevator based on Earth could not simply be a tall tower supported from below. Instead, it would consist of a cable with one end attached to the surface near the equator and the other end attached to a counterweight in space beyond geostationary orbit. This would allow the elevator to move between the surface and the counterweight. The opposing forces of gravity, which is stronger at the lower end, and the upward centrifugal force, which is stronger at the upper end, would result in the cable being held up, under tension, and stationary over a single position on Earth. Gravity is stronger at the lower end, while the upward centrifugal force is stronger at the upper end. After the tether has been deployed, climbers will be able to use mechanical methods to repeatedly ascend and descend the tether in order to release their payload into and out of orbit.<br /><b>How You Will Benefit</b><br />(I) Insights, and validations about the following topics:<br />Chapter 1: Space elevator<br />Chapter 2: Interplanetary spaceflight<br />Chapter 3: The Fountains of Paradise<br />Chapter 4: Counterweight<br />Chapter 5: Skyhook (structure)<br />Chapter 6: Lunar space elevator<br />Chapter 7: Megascale engineering<br />Chapter 8: Yuri Artsutanov<br />Chapter 9: Momentum exchange tether<br />Chapter 10: Launch loop<br />Chapter 11: Orbital ring<br />Chapter 12: Globus Cassus<br />Chapter 13: Space elevators in fiction<br />Chapter 14: Specific strength<br />Chapter 15: Gravity of Earth<br />Chapter 16: Non-rocket spacelaunch<br />Chapter 17: Space elevator safety<br />Chapter 18: Space elevator construction<br />Chapter 19: Space tether<br />Chapter 20: Space elevator competitions<br />Chapter 21: Hypothetical technology<br />(II) Answering the public top questions about space elevator.<br />(III) Real world examples for the usage of space elevator in many fields.<br />(IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of space elevator&#39; technologies.<br /><b>Who This Book Is For</b><br />Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of space elevator.
